I have 2 factory mags that came with gun. Spring is so stiff you need a loader to get all ammo in. Is this any different? — 1 Answer

No, this should not be different.

Almost all magazines will be "stiff" the closer you get to full capacity when new from the box.

They will break in slightly over time but in general it is better to have more spring tension than less for reliable feeding.
